Real-time Monitoring, Alerting, Reporting and Chargeback Solution

vCharter is the only comprehensive monitoring tool for VMware ESX Server that goes "under the hood" to provide a real-time and historical monitoring and performance control solution for your virtual environments.  By comparison, most monitoring solutions for virtualized environments don’t go far enough.  They emulate the physical world in trying to collect metrics "inside the guest" operating system.  vCharter is the only solution that pulls together all the features needed for true monitoring of virtual environments to enable informed decision making.

Get All the Information You Need with One Tool

vCharter provides a top-down view of the virtual infrastructure in a drill-down display of performance that shows each level of the environment, beginning with the container level.  The container level presents a rolled-up layer of performance for the hosts within the container, while the host-level view follows the container level and demonstrates vital statistics for each of the virtual machine guests in a holistic view.  Because vCharter runs centrally, it can provide a comprehensive view across the entire virtual infrastructure as a whole system to help identify bottlenecks and other problems.  In addition to performance monitoring, vCharter offers the leading chargeback solution for the VMware ESX Server environment.  vCharter can be configured with cost properties at the Global, Host, and VM level to accurately capture the costs for a given environment and apportion those costs to VMs based on utilization.
